Aaron Rome always dreamed of making the hockey hall of fame.He’s a step closer today. How can you ignore a former Canucks MVP, a defenceman who led the team in points and the guy picked most-exciting by fans?Rome was all of this Thursday. And more. He was an all-star, a most-outstanding defenceman and the team’s unsung hero from the 2011-12 season, as voted by fans, of course.That’s why his return to Vancouver with the Dallas Stars is so huge.“When’s the Aaron Rome press conference?” Roberto Luongo asked as he skated off the ice.

You see, the Canucks entrance corridor which features a list of the team’s award winners and all-stars, a wall of fame, got a rather jarring makeover before Rome’s arrival in Rogers Arena.

It would be sweet to keep this streak going and maybe even get a goal from #17.

It will be interesting to see where RK's game is right off the hop. He is our purebred workhorse and we're going to be a way better team if he can get his game back up to the levels of 2011. I think he can get back there, he's only 28 and he works his ass off.
